Air Kasai Antonov 26B being refueled in the Republic of Congo. Good news is they are on the banned list for flying into the EU,
in fact every aircraft registered in the Republic of Congo is banned in Europe!!!

Better service than a few FBOs I've been to

Amazing that a wobble pump and a few feet of hose
is beyond their financial capabilities.

They probably have one but it's broken and the hose has been stolen to use elsewhere. That or it's full of holes.
There's probably also a fuel truck somewhere too but it's thrown a valve, tires are stolen/sold, tank all rusted out and when it does start, it spews fuel all over the ramp and then they'll still try to charge you double.

Someone want to do the math on how many trips that takes to fill up?
Also, why the one bucket? It would have been a lot faster if they had more than one!

Where can you find a chart with the time necessary for refueling?
Must be hard to be on time for your flight, unless you have overnight for refueling.

There is another bucket but I guess that one guy can only safely carry one bucket at a time. The other five people are busy sitting in the shade under the wing...

Under the wing...you mean the passenger lounge?
